Dassault Falcon 7x vs Gulfstream G280

The Dassault Falcon 7X and Gulfstream G280 sit in different business-jet categories, with the 7X positioned as a large-cabin, long-range flagship and the G280 as a super-midsize jet optimized for efficient transcontinental missions. In range, the Falcon 7X typically offers about 5,950 nautical miles, enabling many intercontinental city pairs with fewer fuel stops, while the G280 is generally around 3,600 nautical miles, well suited to coast-to-coast U.S. and many North Atlantic “one-stop” trips depending on winds and payload. Passenger capacity also reflects their classes: the Falcon 7X is commonly configured for around 12 to 16 passengers, with more space for a multi-zone cabin and extended-amenity layouts, whereas the G280 is most often arranged for about 8 to 10 passengers, prioritizing a comfortable but smaller cabin footprint. Overall, the 7X targets maximum reach and cabin volume, while the G280 emphasizes strong performance and value in the super-midsize segment.
